Designed by Kasian Architecture Interior Design and Planning Ltd.

The Calgary Film Centre is Alberta's first purpose-built facility for the film, television, and creative industries. The Centre includes a warehouse building with rentable workshop spaces and the Calgary Film Centre office, as well as a studio building with three soundstages. A central spine building joins the warehouse and soundstages, and provides a common circulation area. The rentable workshop unit space can be used for a variety of soundstage support activities, such as open concept offices or a wardrobe and make-up area. All workshop unit spaces and soundstage spaces are individually metered for billing purposes. The project was designed in accordance with City of Calgary Great Plains Industrial Park Sustainable Design Guidelines.
